What exactly is impressive about Rap God unless you don't listen to hip hop outside of Eminem? It's not a bad song but lyrically what is the appeal? He's rapping real fast, wooo. There are so many better "talking shit" tracks, with far better production.

Here goes again the stupid "if you don't listen outside of Eminem".

You are delusional if you think only Eminem Stans could possibly find this track, and his recent work amazing.

But that seems to be you dawg, frustrated beyond imagination that your shitty "Em fell off" argument doesn't work anymore.

When you have artists like Talib Kweli and Pharoahe Monch (among many others) praising the song when it dropped, you know there is something to it. I wonder who knows more about hip-hop, actual artists or some random nobodies on the Internet who probably consider themselves "rap experts" because they listen to some shitty datpiff mixtapes and wear doo-rags?

Haha, looks like Rap God made you catch some feelings.

Uh, summa lumma dooma lumma you assuming I'm a human
What I gotta do to get it through to you I'm superhuman
Innovative and I'm made of rubber, so that anything you say is
Ricochet in off a me and it'll glue to you
And I'm devastating more than ever demonstrating
How to give a motherfuckin' audience a feeling like it's levitating
Never fading, and I know that haters are forever waiting
For the day that they can say I fell off, they'll be celebrating
'Cause I know the way to get 'em motivated
I make elevating music
You make elevator music
"Oh, he's too mainstream."
Well, that's what they do
When they get jealous, they confuse it
"It's not hip hop, it's pop."
'Cause I found a hella way to fuse it
With rock, shock rap with Doc
Throw on "Lose Yourself" and make 'em lose it

The bolded parts are exceptionally bad. Jesus Em, hang up the mic.

This is a poor argument. Someone doesn't have to be an artist to know and appreciate hip hop. Second, what the fuck does wearing doo-rags have to do with any of this? I am not sure what you meant with that, but it comes off extremely poor.
 
Those Rap God lyrics are cringeworthy, but I'm not gonna hate on his flow at that part. As I've said, he's still technically competent, but he's still vocally grating and lacks anything meaningful to say. He's been recycling the same topics for so many years now.

Who's willing to bet money that anyone who says that has never listened to Talib Kweli anyway?

Probably just Get By.

Technically Rap God is impressive - there's a lot of internal rhyming packed in there, and some multi-syllable rhyming. The problem is that the lyrics are wack overall and there aren't really any "oh shit" bars.

Go listen to some Nas or G Rap if you want to hear someone do "Rap God" right.
 
I listened to Rap God and thought it was more of the same lyrics from Eminem over a lackluster beat. Yes, he raps pretty fast in some parts. Is that really so exciting? Let's just agree to disagree.
 
eminem is great he raps about real childhood and family issues and doesn't fake his personal drama unlike all those thugrappers who just brag about cars, drugs, and 'bitches'. he also tries to reach out and inspire people and raise them up out of their problems and difficulties.

this is a quote i keep close to me when i'm feeling beat up by the world
 
Em trynna outdo Jigga on tarnishing their legacy
sometimes i wish i was a big enough stan of something to never actually be disappointed by poor/lackluster efforts though; as a Wu fan in 2014 this'd really help

To me, musically Eminem is done. Of course this new album will sell, of course his stans will praise it as AOTY and of course he will be relevant after it, but this dude is incapable of releasing a interesting album.

Watch this shit going to have another Rihanna feature again just to prove what his music of today is all about.

The fact that he is blending several different rapping styles in the same track?

See the problem with Eminem is he has never ever passed the "whip test" for many people. As in, you feel slightly arkward saying you like his music in certain circles. Rap God isn't a track to change that opinion. Like Lupe's Control response (By far one of the best), on first listen it sounds disjointed and off-beat. But if you take a step back and really take in what he tries to do, you can't ignore its brilliance.

Is it dope music? Depends how important overall production is to you. Em has been producing for years and his beats still sound shit. But as a display of the spoken word and more importantly a history lesson of different flows, Rap God is one of his best tracks. I kinda wish he hadn't done the speeded up flow bit, because for me thats what everyone focuses on when the track has far more highlights than that.

You're thinking people not being impressed with Rap God is because how it sound sin the car?

Uh, OK. Sure, why not?

Pretty sure you guys are just looking to get people riled up enough for it to come to insults so you can get them banned at this point.

At that point I would have expected someone to post that cliffy b quote seven pages in. We might be getting close, but it ain't there yet.

I'll listen to this anyway, I don't expect much other than a couple tracks that are alright. Not going to sit here and stan the dude like he's the top of the game though, come on.

If you're saying that Eminem has had a stigma over him and people are afraid to say his great cause of that. Then you're pretty much dead wrong. Dude ran the game in the 00's and is considered among the greatest to ever do it. But has he fallen off and is his output mostly shit? Yep, most definitely.

if switching up styles on the fly alone is some kind've barometer of quality, then game, canibus, papoose & hopsin would get namedropped more; thankfully they don't.

also, lupe's control response was terrible, as is most of his post-lasers work. and whip test = how a track sounds in your ride, if you didn't mean that might as well use a different term.

This is a Winston Churchill quote.

Edit: I've been told it was a joke. Thank you, everyone.
 
Got to the song "Baby" from MMLP2. This song could sit on Eminem Show and not feel out of place. Solid rhymes, catchy chorus, it works.
 
what the fuck are people quoting rap god verses for? what about Love Game? both him and kendrick killed it and Em snapped on that one. He beat kendrick on that track

Didn't realize rappers have to be tweens nowadays to be good. And aren't you also implying that only young people listen to hip-hop?

Yeah i agree when we where kids and listened to hiphop we thought its werird for Uncles parents to listen to Hiphop, why? because it was only born when we where kids, now its brought up with us, that its perfectly normal for people in their 30-50s to listen to it

As for the Album i enjoyed the MMLP2 was his best work since TES imo, no where as good, but a big pointer in the main direction
